6:57 PM 12/21/2006 Ok so I was using Jon’s make you want to pull your nose hairs thru your tear ducts computer and it kept locking up on me. I wrote down these precious quotes that mikey said that were too funny…now I have to use my memory that is about as fresh as a wilted daisy…Here goes
Mikey, “Hey, are we still in Naz-a-weth? [pauses for answer and then sings, Mary lived in Nazaweth,
nazaweth, nazaweth…” We were in Oklahoma…lol
Mikey again, “I want to watch my movie…Mom: we can’t watch it because Daddy’s computer isn’t working. You can just look out the window and look at the pretty lights.
Mikey: there aren’t any firewoyks! [pause about 30 seconds] ok, firewoyks in tennn mintues!” Haha! He makes me laugh…
right now they are making me feel like they are plucking my armpit hairs out with a rusty pair of tongs.
********
that is what I wrote while driving in the car. I see that was only about 7 hours into the drive..oy. We pulled into OFallon around 1:25am and Jon and I were ready to go right to sleep, I guess the boys had other ideas. Poor Lauren tossed and turned quite a bit too, she had been sleeping for a while and I don’t think she was ready to go right to sleep.
I think I fell alseep around 2am or so and we woke up at 7:30 for breakfast. Normally I would be the first to turn down breakfast in favor of sleeping…sleep glorious sleep, however! I was hungry and I figured that I wouldnt get to sleep all that much more anyway…I was wrong..I could have had another uninterupted hour of sleep! Duh on Mommy.
Breakfast here isn’t that gourmet, but it’ll make a turd. Biscuits and country gravy, frosted donuts (like someone literally frosted the donut, Dan said, ” thier donuts are terrible!” He should know, haha) unsweetened ceral and waffles. I think the hot biscuits and gravy and hot waffle saved the day.
I think I’ll wait another 30 min. or so to call my Mama….see ya later!
Here is the 3pm log entry:
3:26 PM 12/21/2006 we are on the road. we left plano at 1:47pm, so we seem to be making good time so far. I am using
Jon’s computer, so the keyboard is smaller and I keep making lots of typos. Michael is screaming from the back seat,
“Are we there yet??!” we aren’t even to Okacola yet! This is going to be an extruciatingly long day. I hope I don’t
get car sick typing this.
Songs playing on the zen in random order. 1. Dora the explorer, the chocolate’ song
2. Hit between the eyes, Scorpions
3. Nothing compares, Third Day
4. Big Girls don’t cry, Frankie Vali and the Four seasons
5. Our House, Madness
Interesting sampling of music if you ask me! Haha…will check in later..
3:32 PM 12/21/2006 We are in Okacola!! Yay!! 3:37 PM 12/21/2006 We just passed The peanut shop in Durant, OK. When we stopped for gas in allen, brenna asked us if we were going to stop at “peanut city, alabama”. All I could do was laugh at her! she is so funny…when I told her it was Oklahoma, she said, ” I knooowwww” and I said, “No you don’t, otherwise you wouldnt have said Alabama!” LOL
